Honestly, there is so much self-serving willful ignorance out there...if I didn't laugh, I'd cry.

Heheheh, if any of my students wrote an essay saying 'I have never read any of Author X, but my pals tell me she is nasty so I don't like her' they would get a fail. An epic fail- new category in my marking criteria.

Also, pretending to know you have read Author X when you clearly haven't a clue will equally get you an epic fail, with 'evidence?', 'citation?' and 'read the primary evidence!' scrawled all over it. This aint postmodernism, my lovelies, just becuase you wish Author X was talking about blancmange don't mean she was.

If you are going to tell me that Andrea Dworkin was a misogynist, you're gonna have to give me some evidence. 'She said BDSM is patriarchal, but I like it!' just won't cut it.

should read 'Also, pretending you have read Author X when you clearly haven't...'

I also penalise my students for not checking spelling and grammar. So I give myself a 3rd in this instance :P
